The efforts of the Bush administration in the early 2000s to establish democratic regimes in Afghanistan and Iraq reflect an American foreign policy tradition that began at the end of World War II. The pairing of national security interests with the success of foreign regimes (and, specifically, regimes headed by charismatic strong men) was a common feature of Cold Warera foreign policy employed by every presidential administration from Harry S.

On the morning of January 17, 2012, a new Tuareg group, the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (MNLA), attacked the town of Menaka in northeast Mali. This was the beginning of a full-fledged assault that expelled the Malian government from the north of the country, an area the size of Texas.

Since the January 2012 combined Tuareg-Jihadist offensive and the March 2012 military coup, the international community had been elaborating a gradual and comprehensive response to the political, military and humanitarian aspects of the Malian crisis. In January 2013, however, France responded to the Jihadist attack against the frontline towns of Konna and Sevare by launching offensive operations against the Salafist bases in Gao, Timbuktu, and Kidal. This unanticipated development has...
